From the first paragraph with its captivating image of Zac the Dragon, to the last page, children and big kids like myself will thoroughly enjoy this fantasy adventure story. This a delightful tale of a dragon, called Zac and his quest to find his magical fire. Zac is a young dragon who is ridiculed by the other dragons in the Valley, because he cannot blow fire! This is a beautifully told 'rites of passage' story, where the young hero Zac, goes out into the dangerous world, beyond the safety of the Valley of the Dragons. He risks his life to find his magical power to make fire and thus his adulthood. With the help of new found friends, a stoical, wise moose, called Abraham Jackson, and a spunky, cheeky squirrel called Joe, the trio combine their abilities , knowledge and strength in friendship to achieve Zac's dream. Children will easily identify with each character and share their adventures. From Zac's sad departure from the Valley, to his triumphant return, I defy anyone to be able to not want to read this book through to its truly uplifting ending! An excellent read for all ages, I highly recommend this book, and look forward to the next in this series!

I read the book Zac and The Valley of the Dragon's and I would recommend it as an excellent children's book. I think most adults would find it a good read. The adventures of Zac and his friends will enchant children of all ages. I felt like I was befriending Zac and walking every step with him on his search to find his fire. The friends Zac makes along the way will make you laugh. I found myself caught up in a very real, believable, make believe world. I thought Zac was well written and easy to read. This is a book I would read out loud to my children and grandchildren over and over with out getting tired of the great adventures Zac has on his quest to find his fire, It was a happy feeling when he found his real magic. I hope Mr. Mennenga will continue with the series. I for one, am waiting in line to read more.

I looked this book over when trying to find something for two of my grandsons, ages 10 and 15, and found that I had to read the whole story. It just caught me up and held me and I really hope Mr. Mennenga has more in store for us. I will be watching and waiting.
